Current Missionaries
The list of missionaries you see here will likely never be a comprehensive list of all our current field missionaries as publicly identifying them may put them at risk where they are serving.
Adam + Lyndy White
Adam and Lyndy White met in Alaska while both serving with a Christian radio ministry. Following marriage and graduation from TMM’s missionary candidate training program, they returned to Alaska with TMM in 1999. Adam is TMM’s Alaska Field Director, and spends much of his time in the air, flying pastors, missionaries, youth-campers, and supplies into remote Alaskan villages. In addition, Adam and Lyndy serve their local community in many different ways and are active in Nenana Community Church which Adam currently co-pastors with another TMM missionary. Adam and Lyndy have three high school and college age daughters.
Daniel + Hannah Richardson
Daniel and Hannah Richardson serve in the central Alaska field as missionaries with TMM. They joined TMM in 2018 after completing the missionary training program on TMM’s North Carolina campus.
Daniel is a 2nd generation missionary who grew up in Northern Kenya where his parents also served with TMM. Daniel and Hannah met through their local church in southeastern Kansas. Daniel is an excellent builder and mechanic, and also an airplane pilot for the Mission. He and Hannah are serving their 1st term under the mentorship of our senior missionaries, Adam and Lyndy White. Daniel serves alongside Adam White co-pastoring the Nenana Community Church.
Daniel and Hannah are blessed with 3 young children and also the company of many of the village young people.
Paul + Callie Teasdale
Paul and Callie Teasdale serve with TMM in Northern Kenya. Paul is a 4th generation missionary whose family has been working in Africa for more than 100 years. Paul and Callie met when Paul graduated from college and enrolled in TMM’s candidate training program where Callie’s parents had recently come on Staff.
For the past 10 years, the Teasdales have served in some of the more inhospitable areas of Kenya, helping to establish local churches. In addition, Paul is an engineer and is gifted in using his hands in the construction and maintenance of the ministry properties, often assisting other pastors and missionaries with their projects.
Callie has her hands full ensuring her family of six not only survives but thrives in an austere environment. Along with raising and homeschooling their 4 children, Callie spends a lot of time working with her Kenyan neighbors and sisters.
Daniel + Nellie Popa
Daniel and Nellie Popa have served with TMM for more than 20 years. Daniel is originally from Romania and he graduated from Prairie Bible Institute in Canada.
Upon returning to Romania he married Nellie. As a family, they came to TMM’s North Carolina campus for the missionary candidate training program.
Refusing several offers to pastor Romanian expatriate churches in the USA, they returned to their native Romania to assist a church and country recovering from Communism.
Currently, Daniel oversees and operates a small Christian radio station broadcasting biblical expository preaching, music, and local and international news with a Christian worldview perspective. Nellie serves as a nurse in their local hospital.
Additionally, Daniel with the help of his 3 sons, pastors a couple of small churches in the mountains surrounding their city.
